Objective To evaluate feasibility of a structured discharge planning intervention for high utilisers of mental health care developed in a multicentre RCT. Methods Data of N=241 participants (discharge and 3-month follow-up) allocated to the intervention group are analysed with regard to the intervention's quality of implementation, acceptance, and changes in needs. Results The intervention was well accepted among patients and staff. However, a subgroup of participants showed manual violations. Total and unmet needs could be reduced between baseline and follow-up. Amount and change of needs substantially varied by centre and there was a trend towards variation by dose. Conclusions The intervention was feasible. Further analyses are needed to explore differential efficacy.
